You guys just keep digging your own graves. Now you remove the keys from supply drops, the thing you claim to entice tankers from doing their bad deeds. You guys are full of so much crap, I'll bet people can smell you coming from miles away. Juvenile, but true. Let's see, first they had components, that you removed, then a decent but barely sufficient amount of silver, which you lowered, now the keys completely gone. You really have a model business strategy at work. Who is the one, or group of people coming up with these grand ideas? Whoever it is, or they are, should to be returned to the mental institution.

This last paragraph, especially that last sentence is golden. "Once again, we encourage you to check Modules action. First of all, because we believe that the Frequency Shifter is quite a sight to behold, and second — because in the end, you might not agree with us. If this is the case, we need to hear from you!" Since when has hearing from us ever changed anything in favor of the player community here? I read so much negative here, your Facebook page, reddit page, your game forum, and from talking to friends that play, and see that you don't listen to anything we have to say as it is. Is there something new in the works as well, your willingness to listen to and heed the words of your players? The majority of replies I get from your support section, when there is a reply, is sarcastic and an answer to a question not asked. So, some new attitude towards players that has a component (see what I did there?)of willingness to listen? I don't buy it. I don't buy anything in this game any longer, haven't for a long time. For over three years I've seen very little, almost to an infinitesimal point, that favors us or just plain old regular fun, interesting, competitive gameplay. I don't begrudge you making money, I spend on other games and apps, that treat their customers fairly. You don't. You crap out new junk like you have the equivalent of a certain disgusting bowel problem, and there is no letting up. Your test server is just a way for you to see how much mayhem it will actually cause in the game, instead of a platform to help balance new junk and see how players will interact with and use it. I've been in it a few times. A waste of my time. Some may like it, but it takes away from regular game time for me. Even taking the time to do this takes away from that time, but it does have one benefit, no tankers stopping me from doing this and no lock down from a small bot that allows it to decimate one heavy bot after another. Small bots are my first targets in every battle I have time left to play, when I'm not doing this. This game has lost its soul, lost its fun, lost its interesting and competitive nature. This is just a huge "screw you" carnival game, now. Be well y'all.

Seriously, an apology for what? Screwing us in advance? This game has been one long screw you to the players for over a year and a half. I've been in the game for a little less than three years. I has been on a negative slope downwards in honesty towards players, respect for players, and in controlling the quality of gameplay. That includes all the equipment released since the dash bots were first introduced, as far as balanced performance in battle. They use a rest server to get the equipment ready for release, but the majority of the time, everything is so out whack it isn't funny. That tells me they are lazy and rely on fouled up testing data from the test servers, or they don't know how to gauge performance accurately to allow things to be integrated into regular gameplay. Then they fart around with our money, because of that's the main driver behind what they do in the game economy. They manipulate everything to make players spend on emotion, instead of trying to actually make us happy and trusting of them which would most likely entice us to spend more. I would rather rely on a happy customer base to build my business on, than one that says some really foul things about my business on a daily basis. Just read the posts on all their media sites. It doesn't look good. I can't imagine who is so pissed that they they think waiting a month for new equipment is too short a wait. How ridiculous is this reasoning? I've yet to see a complaint that reads anything close to that. They screwed up the economy of this game themselves. They want to know why they are seeing awful results from the recent changes, all they need to do is read and believe that what we say we are pissed about, is what we are actually pissed about. Why would we waste our time complaining, if we didn't care about the game, or what we had to say wasn't important to us? I use to budget money to spend in this game and a couple of others. I quit spending in all of them a year and half ago, just waiting to see what would come of all the times Pixo promised to listen more and do what we wanted more, to make matchups better, to end tanking, to balance equipment, and so many other things, this has been over a year and half of saving. Remember all the promised things in their new years resolutions? I do. They dont. All forgotten, purposely. This crap has so soured me on this kind of gaming, I spent that money on a new Xbox1 X, replaced my projector (to some 4k awesomeness), a nice bundle of games, and dont miss spending in this hemorrhoid of a game, not one bit. Why spend money on a game that takes your purchases from you and exchanges them for less valuable junk, one that has a pretty useless support dept. I've never had any issues resolved, technical or any other. I like the concept of this game, what it could be, but it is only a tool for profit for the current development team. They have no sense of who and why they play this game, and they don't care. This crap, is just crap. I've called out every recent bad move they made to them, and what I told them was going to happen, did. They no longer respond to my messages, and I've never once used foul language or gotten personal. They have a serious issue with the truth and facts. I think it makes them physically ill to know that their players aren't as stupid as they believe we are.

You have obviously not been playing this game long enough to see all the changes from what was a potentially wonderful game. It is broken. Why would they need to insert casino games to boost profits, if the game alone and what it offers can't bring in the cash, if it were not broken? I apologize for the horrible grammar, but my point still stands. The detuning you peak of, well....I have more weapons and bots that that have been adjusted so many times that I lost track. That is over a little less than three years of way op equipment (bots and weapons) that are then adjusted to balance out more, only then to be made useless. Only over the last year and a half, they catered to their big money players, media sycophants, and tanker types that they love to have keeping the honest layers stirred up, they put out these bots and weapons that dominated, made them crazily expensive or very hard to obtain for the frugal folks, or those that just can't afford to spend, and then wondered why their participation dropped off so much. They had and still have issues filling battles in the higher leagues, why, because they don't control tanking. Almost the majority of those chronic tankers are players that could easily compete in the higher leagues, only they are roaming around theow leagues abusing new and weaker players. The devs love them for it too. They believe, I don't, that it causes players to get so upset that they impulse spend to upgrade faster when they so upset at getting their rear ends fed to them. It's some of that schizophrenic business decision making that Pixonic has employed for the past year n a half or so. It has been so wonderful for us, right? Not hardly. I have had so many friends quit for so many reasons, not just one, but the main ones are tankers, bad match ups, and removal of choices for us that we had to begin with, not ones that just suddenly wanted. Plus, there were a few others. Some had teens that played and they didn't want them exposed to foul language, players names, that Pixo does t monitor for or censor. The game claims to be family friendly, the reality is different. Gambling, no censoring of foul language, and a quiet tacit endorsement of what many consider cheating, tanking. I dont think it's cheating, but it's close. Manipulation of play to force losses on your own squad mates, only so you can drop leagues, more manipulation of a poorly designed league system, just so you can use much stronger equipment to bash around weak players. You use your own description, personally I think they are less than turd scum. They have damaged this game, maybe to the point that it will never be more than it is now. The devs in their drive to feed their greed, I know it's an overused cliché, but it's fitting here, have allowed it to continue, with only the very minimum of punishment for tankers, that probably traps more players with technical issues than it does tankers, and then they will kit release the players with technical issues from the tanker's jail, even though the devs acknowledged the legit issue. How messed up is that? I know I strayed from my original point, but it paints a pic that encompasses how long this crap has been going on. So, screw that not fixing what isn't broken crap. Dude, that statement only shows your ignorance of what goes on in this game. I mean no insult, I just mean you aren't aware. There is all kinds of broken junk in this game. It's way past time that they address this problem with these weapons and bots that dominate. Some players just simply cant afford them, or put in the time it would take to obtain them the cheap way. I have gotten quite a few the cheap way, but not everyone is able to. Try to remember, there is only one you, you do things that work best for you, it's the same for others, just different. Make sense? These dicks that say well... I did it this way, got all these things, and you're a loser because you don't have that stuff. I say screw you dude, everyone has their own way, right or wrong, good or bad, successful or unsuccessful, things are just freaking different for each individual. I apologize if I insulted you in any way, not my intent. Be well, God bless.

You are fine with Pixonic taking things you have paid for with silver and gold, in things that you choose,then turning those things into less valuable items for a chance in a casino game that will give you nothing equal of value to your original investment in silver and gold. Have you ever seen the drop rates for any of the quality items in the black market? The odds are definitely not in our favor. Black market is waste of any player's money. If you get keys from supply drop use them, but to purchase keys is a huge waste of money. That is what this is all about. Not how much better workshop 2.0 is, also the way the developer handles what we purchase. They feel like they can confiscate and change the statistics of equipment on whim without any explanation to us or permission from us. Your investment, in your equipment, means nothing to them.

Does the term sycophant mean anything to you guys. Google it, then take a long look in the mirror. Pixonic will continue to screw you guys, unlubed, until they squeeze every last cent from you. They will end up making these things out of balance just like the shocktrain, t get people to impulse spend and attempt to get stronger, but it will not do you a bit of good, because it will be nerfed as soon as interest drops off. As long as gameplay issues aren't addressed, none of the new shiny things will make this game better. Manni is a sellout. I liked the dude, but he has partaken of the kool-aid, or been paid off for his own sycophantic behavior. I can't stand to see a person who would so easily sell his support. Weak of character comes to mind when I think of him and all the media tramps that cheerlead for Pixo. How about keeping your balls, be an honest media personality, and tell the truth of the game, by highlighting the real problems that should be put in the forefront of all conversations about this game. There are weapons with targeting and firing issues that have not been addressed for over a year, the tanking issue has been present and not addressed in any real way since the the league system began, and how about the lack of communication that has been promised forever and not delivered on. It was a new years resolution of Pixo's. Of course it was another broken promise, just like so many others. Am I excited about these new bots and weapons? Well...no. Why would any realistic honest player be? Just another waste of money. How long do you idiots think it will take you to obtain all the components, then upgrade it to a decent fighting level? It's just another in a long line of things that add to the confusion of the game, and reasons for the developer to ignore the important problems in this game. They will never devote the programming resources to make this game right, as long as players like you guys and the media idgits keep cheering this crap along.

You confiscated our workshop points that we chose to purchase with our silver. Notice I'm saying the word our, as in the players, not your, as in the developer. Then you turn them into keys to use in a gambling game that has the odds so bad, and the rewards are watered down with useless crap, that our silver used to purchase those points is now worthless. Why not just turn it back into the original currency, that goes for the gold spent to obtain the workshop points too? Many players have spent a great deal of gold to build up workshop points. I've seen YouTube videos of some of your favorite sycophantic supporters showing exactly how to build up workshop points by using gold, and this was within the time since you announced changing the workshop. Why would you think it's OK for them to push this tactic when you K ew all along about exchanging "our" workshop points into toiletpaper? How do you justify allowing that and all the other videos cheerleading this ripoff, when you knew exactly what you had planned all along? I know the answer, no ethics. You are pretty much defrauding us in a way, by taking items we already own and turning them into less valuable items. Whether you see that value as different or not, doesn't matter. We decide what is is of value to us when we choose to spend whatever currency to obtain those points or any other thing in this game. It's what's valuable to us and what we choose, not what you choose for us. What do you guys have against letting us decide what we want to do with those? They are ours already. You are acting like the mafia, or some kind of crooked government. If we speak out, you censor us or just delete our posts. I think that Google play and Apple Store should look into your gambling schemes inside this game. You have minors playing this game, and in most countries it is illegal for minors to gamble when real money can purchase the chance to participate. I hope you realize the legal implications of that, aside from all it the other unethical treatment of the players in this game.

So, you would rather have those points that you paid silver for to be turned into keys that are less valuable than the original value put into thos workshop points. Plus, when you use those keys, you have exactly zero choice on what you get, with the silver, or the points you used to get, you used them on something you chose. With the silver you have the choice as to what you want to use it for, with the keys, it's a gamble on a fixed game that rarely ever give you anything of value.

What makes it ok for you guys to take something that we have already purchased, workshop points, with our own silver, and exchange it for something we do not want, useless keys. It's no different than taking a piece of equipment from our hanger, and exchanging it for a piece we do not want. We used our own silver, why wouldn't you return the unused point back to us in the currency used to purchase them? Also, why would you devalue the silver used to purchase those points? You guys seem to try every trick in the book to make sure nothing goes to the favor of the players. Does the player to developer relationship mean nothing to you guys? I know the answer, do you? Tell us what went into the decision to exchange for keys instead of silver, our silver originally used to purchase those workshop points. Do you not understand that is our silver and points, not yours? Change yet another system in the game, we certainly have zero say in that, but don't be screwing us over on what is ours already. You are confiscating what is ours and in return giving us something way less in value, or is there some small print in your TOS that says you can do whatever you want with items we have paid for, in reality we don't have any ownership of anything that our money went to in purchase? Is that how it is? I'm trying my best to be civil here, how about some reciprocal behavior from you guys and give us an explanation of why you are doing this the way you are.

Why do you hate your players? Why won't you spend as much effort on making the game more fair and competitive, as you do all these schemes that don't have a thing to do with actual battling? I'm tired of either battling way OP players in master and champion leagues, or players from gold and diamond, that are either much stronger than me because they are tanking to drop into these low leagues or they are rising too fast n leagues and their battle skills are not up to battling much stronger players yet. You claim there aren't enough players to fill battles like that, well wonder why. You add more battle modes and then tell us we can't choose our modes because there aren't enough players to do that. It seems to me like you are sabotaging your own game. First you fail to effectively punish chronic tankers, so they are roaming the low leagues skewing the league player numbers for the high leagues, then you force players to accept battle mode they don't want to be a part of, so you created a whole new set of tankers. Thanks, you're welcome. Of course these aren't the malicious type of tankers that only want to do some baby smashing, they hist want their choices back, but you treat them just like the bad ones. Great, move, wonder how many players have quit the game, just because of these two situations? New and weaker players that get abused by the malicious tankers feel as if they will never be able to compete, so they stop playing. The others are just plain ol oilseed of because you take their choice, then treat them like they are thugs and put them n your little tanker's jail, well you just created another batch of players that either slow down their play or quit. Congrats, there are probably enough players from those two scenarios to effectively deal with then numbers issues. Problem is there, that you are too blind to see it or will ignore it because it exposes your ineptitude at administering this game or exposes your own malicious intent to manipulate players into spending more money through coercion of their emotions. If that phrase works, I don't know, sounded good. So, again I ask, why do you hate your players?

They have this thing called, breaking promises, often and when it suits them. They make them to try to get the players that are on the borderline of quitting, to hang on that little bit longer to see those promises fulfilled. Most of the time, they let time erase them. Other times, they seem to forget making them. Rarely does one come to fruition, but usually when it does, it's very different than the original promise. It's good to ss those promise to compare to the result later on. If there is one.

None of this means a thing until gameplay issue are addressed. Stop tanking by booting the chronic ones from the game. Fix matching by using player's current hangar strength as the main, not the only as it is now with league position, determining factor in match ups for battles. Allow only a certain percentage of high level equipment in a player's current hangar, for battles in the lower leagues. It will stop most of the chronic tankers from abusing the weaker and newer players, and also from taking the battle rewards that those players would win otherwise. That would also help with the low number of stronger players needed in the higher leagues, which would help with the screwed up match ups that we constantly see. One battle is full of low league players, the next is full of higher league, no consistency. It's schizophrenic. That doesn't make it interesting, just aggravating. Stop this annoying random battle idiocy. It's one of the main causes of tanking. Most players don't like it, so they they just show for battles they dont like or have the hangar setup to compete in. I know they think it cause players to buy more hangar space, but the devs are wrong. Not very many players are not willing to spend that much. I'm tired of seeing the excuse from the devs little news delivery people, too afraid to speak with us one on one I guess, that there aren't enough players to let us choose our battle modes, yet they keep throwing new modes that are redundant or just plain crap. We want our choices back. We want our choices back in the daily tasks as well. Why give us tasks that don't have anything to do with how we have our hangars set up or where our skills lie? Forcing us to complete tasks that we aren't suited for, only causes frustration. Why? I hear so many friends and squad mates complain about all these issues, at least the ones still playing. These issues have made many of them quit the game. Either one or all together. The devs just don't care. They don't keep promises, and have lied in the past about fixing issues for us. They call us cattle, and most of us don't say a word. They will continue doing these things to us, until more players speak out. If you don't speak up and show your displeasure then quit crying in squad chat to your teammates about how horrible everything is.

Of course it's rigged. The only time you will see any progress towards gaining components, is when you begin to spend any significant amount of money. If you spend a little, in the tasks section, they will reward you a little extra gold to spend the same amount of money or greater, and it continues from there. I have done that a couple of times, and just after, it seemed that the components that I was trying to gather all of a sudden started hitting in the lottery, and on they were showing more often where I could spend ws points on them. It's all monitored and rigged. If you spend, you are part of the accepted class for them. If you don't, or spend very little, then your chances for fortune in anything in the game's component casino, drop to the floor. They may deny this, but is too coincidental for that to happen for me more than once, because it has. I have money to spend, I just refuse to join the big spender's club for a purposely flawed product that is mismanaged as badly as this is.

It will. That is what they are designed to do. No free, frugal, or budget player will be considered in the development of things like this. They seem to have a mental block that doesn't allow them to see that they have a shortage of honest players at this point, and just about every new battle mode or overpriced, unbalanced piece of equipment that they release, makes that number dwindle even more. They are the creators of their own demise.

Want to fix player abusing tankers, ban them from the game. KICK THEIR WORTHLESS AND SELFISH REAR ENDS OUT OF THE GAME! That will deter others thinking about doing it as well. There is no deterrent now. Putting them in that laughable queue, trying to make them feel bad, or deprive them of a little bit better supply drops or rewards means nothing to these people. I have turned in hundreds of these people and still see them doing their dirty business a few days or weeks after. They will feel punished only when they try to join the game one day, and it never connects to the game server. Permanently. They will think twice about doing that in the next game they want to try that tactic. I don't care how much money you spend in this or any game, once you abuse other players by trying to force a loss on them, or by purposely try to get into a position to face only those much weaker than you, then you forfeit any rights to your playing privileges in that game. You are officially a lowlife scumturd at that point, and personally I think you forfeit your rights to interact with normal honest citizens of the world, or those that are as honest and normal as they can be. Thank you.

When? This was all promised before the first of the year. As well as the promise to listen to the players more, ain't happening, and to communicate better, never understood why they mentioned those separately, but... that ain't happening either, unless you come here to see they don't listen to our requests or Facebook. They allude to things we constantly request or complain about, but it is never in the desired result for us. It is always in a manipulative manner to squeeze money out of us somehow. For instance, targeting, this has been an issue forever. It never gets addressed. You lock onto a target, while shooting it loses lock, you lose a kill or are killed yourself. Maddening, but maybe it's what they want. They profit through our strife. Prove me wrong Pixonic. I can't say how many times a favorite response from them I've heard is, "it is very difficult to make these kinds of changes, and we don't know if it it can be done", or something very similar. Who is doing the programming there? A bunch of rookies? Surely not. I've spoken with friends that do work in game development and have discussed many of the gameplay issue we experience the time, and they say all these things we try to get fixed or improved can absolutely be done. Not simply, but very doable. None of this stuff is simple, but the only things that stop all these things from being done, and are how it fits in with the way they want to get our money, and the willingness to accede to the players requests. Obviously we lose on both accounts. Our demands don't outweigh their desire to screw us out of our money, and they aren't willing to accede to anything we demand. The only thing that will stop that flat, is for all players to come together and realize that nothing will ever improve significantly until we do. The how of that is beyond me, but I feel it is the only thing that change gaming altogether.

Oh yeah, forgot to say, I appreciate your total lack of respect by cutting and pasting your response from another player's comment. It just shows the real lack of class you guys have. Grow up and show some respect. I never swear at you guys, or get personal, yet it is OK for you guys get juvenile with your replies, in the rare event the I get one. The guys that developed this game in the first place should be so pissed at how you have ruined this game. Most players that have had the pleasure of playing it when it was good, sure are.

Why thank you for your very original response, which I read as a response to another player. The same thing happens when I post issues in the support section of the game. It's like talking to a scripted IT help desk, where an original comment is grounds for immediate termination. What the deal is, after one year of being told about tankers, and many great ideas about how to stop this tactic, even without directly taking action against those players, the best you can come up with is a scripted response which we very here and the support section. Great work! I'm really proud of you guys. Remove the advantage of the tanker, using higher leveled units against the weaker players in the lower leagues, then they quit tanking. Or they can just use the lower level units they have in their hangar and depend solely on their experience and skill, if they have any. I have seen some of these guys with topped out bots and weapons get their rear ends handed to them by weaker bots, one being me a few times, but they way you design these things, it is a rare thing for that to happen. You may not directly endorse this behavior, but your inaction and the inept use of the scary isolated queue, really allow this behavior to continue and only get worse. Thanks for letting them abuse so many players, whether they get teamed up with them or they are the weaker player that has to face them. They should be kicked from the game. There is no place in this game or any other, for this total lack of gamesmanship, sportsmanship, or whatever you want to call it.

What is with the gambling obsession? Maybe tie that into the tanking problem. Only allow players that finish battles, that don't have complaints about their gameplay from other players, be allowed to participate in your gambling games (there will have to be some work on that of course), make the support drops and battle rewards even more difficult for tankers to obtain (that will take more work from you guys as well). Right now it seems like that the supply drop idea of yours isn't deterring these tactics at all. It has only worsened. I've offered many sensible ideas on how to limit the tanking problem, which would fix so many other issues tie to actual gameplay as well, and they are just given the same cut and paste response every time, well.. the rare occasions that you guys even reply to my messages. Don't forget the resolution to communicate better with the players, I sure haven't, and the promise to listen to players too, I did not forget that one either. I think that has just been like many other things, just thrown out there to shut up players for a while. The easiest things in the world to do, and you can't even make the effort to do those, inside the game, not on this site or your Facebook page, but actually inside the game where the effort to communicate better would be more effective. Most players do not visit this site or your facebook page. You make it so hard for the player that never visits these two places to actually learn anything inside the game. That is so counterintuitive it's nuts. Why wouldn't you want to make the greater majority of your players aware of what is going on, inside the game app? It's all of these external links that you rely on that most players will never visit. That isn't better communication. You rely on too many outside resources to get the word out or educate the player on your own game. That is not the best way to directly communicate or directly influence, in a positive manner, the player community. That would be by you, inside of the game app. How about losing the gambling stuff, and just putting those chances in the battles? Maybe post battle, the effort you show gives you the chance at some points to spend in a store, there has to be a way to judge what a player puts into battle to make that kind of determination. The only other way to stop tanking, is to limit the levels of upgraded material, to certain league levels. Either by percentage of the player's hangar or just flat out limits per level. That is the biggest problem in the game. It's a crap shoot for players when they enter battle, it is just another gamble, to know whether or not they or their opponents will suffer with some lowlife tanker.

I see nothing there about basic gameplay quality, like the issue with tankers, with the matching system, and all the others that players have been complaining about for months. All you care about is the new digital crap you try to coerce players into buying, and keeping your test bed players happy, like they are the only ones that play this game. They are only a small percentage of the total playing community. Meanwhile you do nothing that solves the issues of what allows players to reap the benefits using the tanking tactics, which is using way overpowered bots and weapons in the lower leagues. That is the thing these lowlifes love about this game. They are too cowardly to face another squad of players that match up with them. That, and they just want easy reward, with no consideration of the players that they stab in the back to get down to where they want to abuse the weaker players. You guys tell us at the first of the year about this new reporting system, BS, and your resolutions to listen to us and communicate better, even more BS. When I ask about the expectations of of these things happening, always with more respect than is shown to us by you guys, I either get the total lack of communication or we are just support and can't answer developer issues. What are you there for, if not to ask those questions to the developer and relay the answered questions to us? That is called COMMUNICATION. Where is the effort to make sure your resolutions are adhered to? Into the third month of this year, I only see more money making schemes and tinkering that should have been done before the release of whatever item of the day you want to "adjust". You guys act like second rate programmers sometimes, or someone that has been handed the keys to a brand new Cadillac with no idea how to drive it or maintain it. Thanks for ruining a perfectly good game.

What will stop them them from their ultimate goal, which is to drop leagues for weaker competition, is to limit the use of higher leveled bots and weapons in the lower leagues. Take away their advantage and they are just players that can't utilize what most players develop through slow growth, which are a couple of things called skill and strategy. They are only low life's in the game, and pretty much in their daily life too.

If that were the reality of how it is, that would be acceptable, but that isn't even close. Where do you think most of the tankers end up? The money player tankers with the leveled up bots. They are in the lower leagues dominating the weaker and frugal players, then excuse that as some type of legitimate gaming. It is just low class assery. The developers have created the majority of these player issues just to cause strife and piss off some to pay for upgrades and new stuff, thinking it will help them get even or some lame thing like that. All it does is enrich the developer. Look at how they are constantly nerf in and buffing bots and weapons. It totally misleads the player in thinking that they are getting what they pay for, only to have it nerfed shortly afterwards. That is called fraud in most places, in Russia it is called business as usual. Just remember who runs so the game every time you get pissed at something in the game.

I have nothing to get over. If you have legit bug issues, I can't blame you for having to bail out on battles. Ever think that some of your issue may be your own net connection, or just playing on a device that doesn't have the stones to run the game? It doesn't sound like you are the kind of guy that is willing to accept any fault at all, for anything. Plus, only a weak mind has to use foul language to make a point, it isn't necessary. I blame the developer for not closing a loophole that allows people to force a loss on others in a squad for a selfish benefit of just wanting easy battles against weaker players. I'll never accept that as a legitimate battle tactic. It sounds like you agree with or are one of the puppy punchers. Does it make you feel good to beat on weaker players? Is that what you are defending? I do not claim to be some super talented player, but I will never take advantage of five other players that depend on my contribution for a victory, however much that contribution is, I always play to win. If you hate this game so much, just quit. It may be an overall benefit to the game to have you out of it. No one, even those that are dissatisfied with certain aspects of the game, needs your negativity or unwillingness to even research your own issues to see if it may be a problem with your internet connection or device. You are quick to jump on someone that may have a differing view without even reading into what they are saying, do the words reading comprehension mean anything to you? Did you not see that my issue was with those that quit battles to force losses? Did I mention any other reasons why people quit? No. Because I don't see technical issues as a problem associated with the point I'm trying to make. Maybe you aren't trying hard enough to get your problem fixed, who knows, because you just want to throw blame. Players are to blame as well as the developer in what I'm discussing. Your problem is your problem, my issue is one that affects everyone in the game. If there is a player that claims to never have been in a battle where someone has left on purpose or just tanked their effort, to force a loss, I would say that they are lying. It happens to me about 3 out of every 5 battles, on one side or the other. How often do players experience what you are so angry about? I have had connection issues, but not very often. It is aggravating, but I just quit for a while, and when I get back on, it is cleared up. Dude, you are wasting your time getting your mad off on me. You can hate me too, sounds like you are just a hater kind of dude anyways. Just looking for stuff to hate. Must be a miserable way to live. I don't obsess on this crap, I don't get angry about all this either, irritated yes, but angry, psshbbtt? It ain't worth the effort dude. Just because I get on here and make a comment on players that are the cheating kind, someone needs to. Too much of that going on in the world, no more honesty, honor, or just plain ol common courtesy. That's what this is all about. No need to waste time trying to out foul the next guy. It ain't witty, its just sad, is that the best you can do? It doesn't shock, or make most people laugh, some maybe, but most, maybe not. You don't get under my skin with your comments, frankly I don't care, I just wanted to help you comprehend the difference between my point, and your gripe with Pixonic. They are not the same. You may get penalized for the same thing the players I'm talking about, but its your fault for not communicating more effectively with support to make them understand what your problem was, or maybe they could see that you were claiming o e thing, but could see from their end something else, like your internet connection wasn't sufficient for the game to run on, or your device doesn't have the juice to run the game either. They can see more than you think, on their end. Don't live your life so ignorant man. Be honest with yourself, and others, if your end of things can't cut it, own it and improve it, if it shows to be on Pixonic for sure then they will have own it and make it up to you somehow for parking you in the leaver's queue, but you will never get their cooperation if you are swearing at them and about them, especially on their own website. How do you think they will ever deal straight with you if you are throwing turds at them? Grow up dude.

I'm well aware of the differences between real life and a game. Your hyperbole doesn't negate my hyperbole. Unlike players that think these tactics are legitimate, I see how it affects the health of the game. It has made a great deal of players quit the game. Do you think that lowering the total number of players from the game is the right way to assure its future, before those players have a chance to establish themselves? I like the game, a d would like to see it improved. You sound like the kind of player that work rather face players right out of the orientation leagues, instead of facing your peers in strength. Do you fear competing against your approximate equals in a game? This is a game I'm talking about, do you understand? It is sad that you and players that think like you, would rather face the weak, than have to depend on skills and intellect in the game's battle. Again, I'm speaking of a game and your sad belief that it is ok to use a loophole to lose on purpose to drop your standing, only to rob a chance from weaker players to finish high in the game's battles or make your battle stats look artificially strong. I just don't see that being a jerk and a bully against the weak players in a game, is something to be proud of. If you use shady tactics to get victories against those that are around the same levels of strength is different than what you are defending, do I have that right? There are too few top players as it is already, and to have some that would be competitive in the higher leagues, drop into the lower leagues, only keeps the bad match ups, well... bad. Its obvious that your thoughts do not go deep enough to see how players like you that see these selfish game tactics affect more than just your desire to smash the weaker players. It makes for an epidemic of players that will leave a battle that they see no reason to continue making the effort to finish. It doesn't allow players the ability to develop real game skills, it just shows them the difference between the strength of player with levels 11 or 12 against maybe their levels of 5 of 6. You really see that as the makings of a fair battle, in a game. I apparently have to keep emphasizing that I'm speaking of a game, because you seem to be under the impression that I'm talking about "real" life, which my extensive career in the US Marines gave me a particular skillset that would give me a true advantage over those like you, that cannot distinguish between a game and "real" life. You do realize this is a comment section of a game, right? I'm no wilting flower, and I stand behind my gamesmanship. I treat others in this game with the same amount of repsect that I would expect in return, regardless if I receive that respect or not, and I still see this as a game, not "real" life. I'm able to repsond to you respectfully, while discussing the things that will affect this game, right? I don't cast aspersions on your ability to tolerate and survive the end of civilization, why question mine without knowing the first thing about me, when my original post was about a game? I realize that civility is becoming a rare thing, especially in this environment of anonymity, in these games, but I don't think contributing to that lack of civility moves any discussion here forward. I will always call out those that choose the ways that will basically be as backstabbers to five other players, in a battle, in a game, for selfish motives, in a game. If you detected a little sarcasm there, its because there was, while talking about a game, oops, there it was again. Dude, get real. I'm glad I have the time to respond to gamer empty heads like you. You guys spend so much time and effort to find shortcuts and ways to cheat, instead of developing your skills and intelligence. That is a statement that you can take for the game and "real" life, your choice, either or both. I lean towards both. Be well in your post apocalyptic future. Insulting everyone you come across in your unfortunate future, will assure you of a short existence then, mercifully.

Where is the promised worse punishment for leavers and tankers? I was told that there would be one, or was that just another un-promise to shut me up for awhile? Also, better match making? Where? Screw all the new toys, how about fixing the gameplay first. What does a new geegaw matter if people are still stepping out of battles or wandering around like zombies during battle, trying to force a loss on five other players? The ultimate in selfish play continues to be punished with a slap on the wrist. How about taking silver from those players and distributing it to the other players they screwed? After that, move them up into another league higher just show that their selfish tactics will not pay off, and do this stuff immediately, not after they have done their little song and dance to a few squads. Then released after their term right into a low league where they wanted to be all along, where they rape and pillage (just a joke y'all) the weaker and newer players, or just maybe, boooooot their sorry rear ends from the game for obvious manipulation of the league points loophole you guys refuse to fix. When so many players spend their real money to compete or better themselves, only have to have that negated by people who would rather cheat at any opportunity, then to allow that to continue is defrauding the honest player's investment. No matter how small it is. Thanks for putting the honest player's interests ahead of the slimy jerks that want to ruin the game for everyone, oh.... I think I got that backwards. Oops.

It isn't a perfect solution, but until this crap that encourages the leavers and tankers is dealt with more effectively, I think this is just one way to help. I've seen enough complain about positive points in a loss, then say they will just drop a battle to keep from being pushed into stronger competition. The way I see it now, the developers have let this mess to on for so long, that there are too many low strength players in the high leagues, and way too many high lvl strength players in quite a bit of the low leagues. The chances of being matched up with you approximate peers for squad mates and your opponents, is rare. I don't want to play against a weak or unskilled opponent, just the same, I don't want some dude with a hangar full of mk12, much less regular ol lvl12, weapons and bots. I'm not ready for that, fo sho. These guys have the chops to limit percentages of items lvls to certain leagues lvls. That way you can have one, two, three, ect... upgraded items (bots or weapons), depending on what league level you have attained, and whatever combination you can sort out that fits your battle style. That way battles are left more to a player's skill instead of just power packing all his griffs and blasting away like a bunch of berzerkers. Skill shines at times in the game, but not often enough to make it fun anymore. More often than not, battles are just about survival rather than teamwork and skills, that word again. Anyways, just wanted to muddy up what I was talking about, that you replied to, even more. Nothing like a good old fart ramble.

Limit the use of high level bots and weapons in the lower leagues (bronze, silver, gold 2 and 3). Nothing wrong with using a percentage of the total inside the hanger of higher level items, and the percentage goes up for every following level of each league. That will help stop the use of tanking and leaving as a tactic to drop into those leagues, by jerks that want to dominate over weaker and newer players, gain, not earn battle stats that they would not get any other way, and win the battle rewards over much weaker players. That is the cowards and cheaters way to play. Plus, it harms the game, by removing any semblance of gamesmanship and it just gets to the point that some think it is a legitimate battle tactic. Its obvious that the leaver's queue is not a deterrent in stopping this behavior. It would also help in growing the numbers of higher levels players in the game, so the match making would get better balanced too. No more expert league players against gold league players. All this to try to stop players from quitting on battles. End the practice of awarding points to the top player on the losing squad, give extra silver or something instead and leave the player at their league position they were at when they started the battle. All of these things will help every player, not just money players. This isn't giving away anything, asking for free stuff, making something cheaper, its about gameplay, the most basic thing.
